Hi Mark

a) The colorpicker works like a SilverStripe module. Here's a documentation how modules should be installed: http://doc.silverstripe.com/doku.php?id=installing-modules (it also covers advanced topics like SVN checkout etc.)
In the case of the color picker the installation is as simple as extracting the archive and move the "colorpicker" directory to the SilverStripe folder. Or in other words: The colorpicker directory should be in the same folder where the cms, assets, sapphire folders reside (this could be your www/htdocs).

b) You would add this line of code to the getCMSFields method of the Page Class that has the BgColor. Here's a complete class listing for a "ColorPage":

Hi Mark

Well, the code I posted would belong in a new file called ColorPage.php. Please restore the original content of your Page.php file in order to get your website working again.

It seems like you lack basic knowledge about the workings of SilverStripe. I strongly suggest you complete all the six tutorials that can be found here: http://doc.silverstripe.com/doku.php?id=tutorials
It's well worth the time.

Good luck.

this module seems doesn't work with 2.3.4 here. I can't get it to work,

after uploaded the "colorpicker" folder to the SilverStripe Directory .

"
my site getting error "

Website Error
There has been an error

The website server has not been able to respond to your request."

then I created a new file ColorPage.php , uploaded it to mysite/code/ Directory,

still can not get my site back.

Any help to at least get the website working again would be highly appreciated.

Cheers, Mikan.

Hi, banal

1) Where did you download the Module?

firstly,I downloaded from this site http://www.eyecon.ro/colorpicker/ ( after uploaded to the directory, site got down)

secondly, I created a new files ColorPage.php, uploaded to the directory, site still down.

thirdly, I deleted all files from "colorpicker" folder and ColorPage.php . I downloaded a new zip file from this thread: http://silverstripe.org/customising-the-cms/show/257187?start=0#post261284

finally, I reuploaded the new "colorpicker" folder and ColorPage.php file to the site directory, my site still down.

2) Did you do a /dev/build?

I don't know how to do /dev/build. can you help me, can you create a new "ColorPage.php" file for me ?
how can I get my site Back to Live?

still has this errors "
Website Error
There has been an error

The website server has not been able to respond to your request."

Thanks
